Pots & Pans Pie Co. | 4915 N. College Ave.
Whether you like your pie sweet or savory, this SoBro favorite has you covered. Editor Shea recommends the green chile pork pot pie for a satisfying dinner followed by a slice of a seasonal pie for dessert — her favorites are October’s peanut butter ice box pie and March’s butterscotch pie.

The Cake Bake Shop | 6515 Carrollton Ave.
Choose from three permanent fixtures — apple crumble pie, peanut butter mousse pie, or key lime pie — or rotating seasonal options, which can include blueberry crumble, coconut cream pie, and other classic favorites. Did we mention that the apple crumble is six inches high?

Lulu’s Coffee & Bakehouse | 2292 W. 86th St.
From chocolate pecan to strawberry, this charming shop has a pie for every preference. Pro tip: Pick up a seasonal coffee drink while you’re there — the barista team is constantly concocting new options, like a peach mango matcha or a peanut butter + oat milk cold brew.

Punkin’s Pies | The AMP at 16 Tech
This baker’s pies are only available during the holidays — but they’re well worth the wait. Owner Joanna inherited her famous sweet potato pie recipe from her mom and sells 100+ each holiday season.

Taylor’s Bakery | Locations vary
This bakery has been cooking up classic pies since 1913. Pro tip: It’s currently offering Easter bundles including pies, rolls, quiches, and more.
